Heil does not recommend storing refuse in the body
overnight. The different types of debris and corrosive
elements usually collected can cause severe corrosion
inside the body decreasing the life of your body. This
corrosion can affect unloading and decrease the structural
life of the body. In addition, storing refuse in the body
overnight can increase the risk of fire.
